Ontroerend Goed

We could hardly imagine it: no mortgages, no knitting scarves, no swimming pools, no butterfly strokes and no more honey kept in glass bowls. That animals would no longer be stuffed, skyscrapers no longer be built, no more suicide and no mathematics. There would be no more talk about the old days, about what's possible. There would be no more enumerations, no more words.

We could hardly imagine it. It would never get this far. We'd find a solution. A world without us.
